How old is ‘Too Old’ to travel? ⇷☓⇸ I hate it when people say this. There is no age limit to when you can go travelling. Its not a young persons game anymore and anyone can do it. I’m someone who resents being told I cant do something and if anything it just makes me want to do it more. I am only 32 but still people say to me ‘Aren’t you too old to go travelling now?’ Not at all!
